 CSA B51

CSA B51 is applicable for registration of:

Definitions of CSA B51:

Boiler — a vessel as defined in the Act.
Boilers

Pressure vessel — a closed vessel for containing, storing, 
Pressure Vessels distributing, transferring, distilling, processing,
or otherwise handling a gas, vapour, or liquid.

Piping — pipes or piping as defined in the Act.
Piping

Fitting — an appurtenance attached to a boiler, pressure vessel, 
or piping, including such items as valves, gauges, and controlling 
Fittings devices. It can include other pressure‐retaining components 
installed in a piping system within the scope of the Act.

Fired‐heater pressure coil — the total fluid‐retaining piping 
Fired Heater Pressure Coils system within the internally insulated enclosure and header 
boxes of a petroleum or chemical plant fired heater, including 
tubes, return bends, crossover piping, inlet and outlet headers, 
and manifolds.

CSA B51

CSA B51 – DESIGN registration
4 General requirements

4.1 Registration of designs

4.1.1
The calculations, drawings, and specifications pertaining to the designs of boilers, pressure vessels, fittings as
specified in Clause 4.2, fired‐heater pressure coils, and piping shall be submitted to the regulatory authority in
the province where the item is intended to be used. The submission shall identify the substance for which the
item is intended. It shall be the responsibility of the users or an agent they designate to determine whether the
substance is lethal. Figures 1(a), (b), and (c) shall be used to determine whether items are to be registered as
pressure vessels or Category H fittings (see Table 1). The name of the authorized inspection agency to be
employed when a boiler or pressure vessel is to be manufactured outside Canada shall also be submitted when
required by the regulatory authority. Acceptance and registration shall be obtained before construction begins.
Manufacturers who commence construction prior to receiving design registration shall rectify any design
deficiencies that are identified in the design registration process.

4.1.2
Any number of boilers, pressure vessels, fittings, fired‐heater pressure coils, and piping systems may be
constructed from a registered design until a change in the applicable Act, Codes, or Standards invalidates the
design, in which case the design shall be obsolete and no further construction to the design shall be made after
the effective date of the change as established by the Act. When the Act does not specify an effective date of
change, the effective date shall be the date specified in the changed document or six months from the
published date of the change, whichever comes first.

CSA B51 – CRN numbers
4.3 Canadian Registration Numbers (CRNs)
4.3.1
Designs and specifications that are accepted and registered by the regulatory authority shall be
assigned a Canadian Registration Number. The province in which a design is registered shall be
indicated by a digit or letter following a decimal point (see Clause 4.3.2).
4.3.2
When a design that is registered in a province is subsequently registered in other provinces,
additional digits or letters identifying those provinces shall be added after the digit or letter
representing the original registering province. The following identifications shall be used:
1  British Columbia  6  Québec  T  Northwest Territories
2  Alberta  7  New Brunswick Y  Yukon
3  Saskatchewan 8  Nova Scotia N  Nunavut
4  Manitoba 9  Prince Edward Island
5  Ontario  0  Newfoundland and Labrador

Notes:
(1) For example, a design registered in Ontario and allotted the registration number K4567 will be registered as CRN K4567.5. If this
design is subsequently registered in Alberta, the CRN will be K4567.52; and if afterwards registered in Manitoba, the CRN will be
K4567.524.
(2) If a design is registered in all provinces and territories, the CRN stamped on the nameplate and marked on the data report may be
shortened to include the designation of first registration plus the letter “C”, e.g., K4567.5C.
(3) If a design is registered in all provinces and territories that require registration but not in provinces and territories that do not
require registration, the CRN may be shortened to include the designation of first registration plus the letters “CL”, e.g., K4567.5CL.
(The “L” means limited.)
